About writes: "Based on a board game, Blokus is a slow, but fun strategy game that becomes deceptively addictive. Like Tetris blended with Connect Four, Blokus requires placing as many block shapes on the board as possible. However, at least one other opponent is doing the same thing, trying to block your placements while taking up as much room as possible. It gets three times as complex when doing a four-player game."

PS Blog EU: For most of the Gameloft crew, board games are deeply ingrained in our childhood memories. Whether it involved picking up our first chess piece or throwing backgammon dice, we all hold fond memories of playing board games. With consoles like the PlayStation 3 offering a modern twist to various traditional board games, it can be a great way to play familiar titles for that nostalgic feeling.
Quoting Movemodo's review:
"For $4.99/£3.99, there is a bit of family fun to be had at a great price. Any fans of board and puzzle games will find that this will fit right into their collection, but in the end Blokus is just a virtual board game without many changes. If you already own the physical game, you might consider blocking this from your collection. Be sure to check out the demo before making the purchase to see if this block-laying game suits you - just be ready to ditch your Move controller."
